I'm very much looking forward to Billy Talent's new record as well. Sounds like they're going to change things up.

I have no idea if you're a fan, but since you're Canadian I have to ask - did you check out Sam Roberts' new record this year? Thoughts?

Great call on Banner Pilot and Basement. This also reminded me to check out Joyce Manner. I like this. A lot.

80% of your most anticipated list would be on mine too.

Haha. This list is probably similar to what they're putting together, but I doubt Punknews would ever include Brighter Brightest.



Sometimes I think you and I are the only people on this site who realize just how amazing they are. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think they have the potential to reach the level Marianas Trench is at.

They're like The Maine, but actually good. Really solid pop-rock record.

Yeah, I think it's time Billy Talent tried something new and I'm excited to see how that turns out for them.

And no, I haven't. Is it good? I haven't really listened to Sam Roberts since my MuchMusic days, when all of his singles from Brother Down and We Were Born In a Flame were in constant rotation.

I know and that's why I'm surprised more people on this site haven't caught onto them. They remind me a lot of the bands that this site grew up on too, The Starting Line in particular. And they did an awesome cover of Taking Back Sunday's "You Know How I Do" when I saw them play in September.

Agreed about Sum 41. Gawd that record was terrible.

Very nice, I like dis.

Nice to see Michigan Left getting some love. I agree with the love for 'Book Club', such a great opener!
